Aurora Millicent grimes, Rick's firstborn, his pride and joy, to a lot of people Aurora was their star in the sky, the person who guided them, and cared for them, what happens when the apocalypse starts, her father "dies" and she gets separated from...

Sitting and staring into space was the only thing the girl could manage to do, her body felt cold and lifeless, it felt so empty she wondered how she was still chained on Earth and not floating around in the galaxy with nothing but the stars and planets, of course, she hoped Finnick would be there with her and not lost in a dark scary woods with multiple walkers chasing after him
but we can't always get what we want
Klaus and Glenn were sitting on the couch nearby, watching her closely and anxiously, every so often Glenn would walk over to her and make her drink some water, but she didn't drink it, she simply pretended, feeling as though if she was to drink that water she would drown in it.
That painfully consuming feeling she felt at the start of the apocolypse was back, the darkness and cold seeped into the cracks of her ribs, taking up the room in her empty chest, for her heart no longer occupied the area, her heart was no longer with her, no, it disappeared into the woods with her son
Not only were Sophia and Finn missing, but now her father and Bellamy, while her mind was in other places, she still felt Carl walk into the RV and sit next to her, hooking his arm around hers hesitantly
he had never seen Aurora like this before, he was too young to remember her after her assault, he only knew happy Rory, for she always tried her hardest to hide her struggles from the youthful kids- as well as everyone else.
Carl watched the empty look in his sister's eyes, Lori had told him to go give her company, but he wished she hadn't, he didn't know what to do or what to say, in fact he was frightened himself
" Aurora," he whispered loudly, it seemed as though no young kid could apprehend the concept of a whisper, they always had to say it loudly
"mhm," she grunted, sounding too much like Daryl for Carl's liking, he gave her a weird look before continuing
"I'm scared too," he sympathized, for the first time in three hours, the girl looked away from the spot in the wall she found so addicting, instead she looked at her baby brother, his light blue eyes that so closely replicated her fathers helped her feel peace, comfort even
she wrapped her arms around the young boy and pressed a heavy kiss on his hair, she couldn't bring herself to tell him it was going to be okay, because she didn't know if it would, even if she had been begging every god in the sky to bring her boy back.
Loud talking in the background is what made her move, ignoring her aching leg Rory jumped out of her spot on the floor and swung open the RV door, her eyes quickly landed on her frantic-looking father, all by himself with two children still missing, Rick's eyes fell to his daughters, as guilt swelled in his chest, he watched as her face twisted into fear, her lips quivering and her chest heaving, without saying a word he walked up to her and pulled her close
